It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Well, I'm not american. I don't know enough about the Hawaii situation, all I have to go on is some accusations here and there that the government failed in it's duty. That's not enough to make a real judgement of the situation, and I haven't looked into the matter more deeply.
What I'm more wary of is the growing chorus of people who seem to think that criticism of the US government only exists online because of signal boosting from nefarious Chinese-Russian troll farms. If you're a liberal you're supposed to pride yourself on the institutionalized self criticism that is supposed to exist in a liberal democracy. Now we have the democrats and the republicans both united in partisan hackery and a desire to ascribe negative speech to either Russiagate or Soros and The Jews®. This is not a good thing.
From what I understand the US government did fail terribly during the Katrina disaster, and then the local government made full use of the opportunity to segregate and ethnically cleanse some historical black neighborhoods. So it's not like this is an impossible idea that came out of the blue.
